Hello everybody, I'm Italian, sorry for my english. I'm traing K2 but I've some problem with Simple Image Gallery Plugin. When I go to create an item with gallery, upload the zip file then it extract the package in /media/k2/galleries/ so the plugin doesn't work. In the Photo Gallery section I can read only {gallery}1{/gallery} that 1 correspond to /media/k2/galleries/1/ foldren. Can you help me???

Pro version works good. I got answer about free version that tell us that JW already work on compatible version of SIG.

I'm having the same problem.
I looked in the SIG source and I noticed that at line 52 of the jwsig.php there is a check for the {gallery} tag that is as follows:

// checking
if ( !preg_match("#{gallery}(.*?){/gallery}#s", $row->text) ) {
return;
}

Since in {gallery} {/gallery} tags are not in the $row->text but in the $row->gallery it fails.

In other topis here is this solved. Its not about this line, but about whole function. In topic is even right file, which you need add to install archive of SIG plugin.

The plugin does not work even with the pro version. When I load the file, the plugin unpack it in / media/k2/galleries so I configured the plugin eith this path. So if I put in the body of the item {gallery} 5 {/ gallery}, where 5 is the id of the item, I can see the gallery but in image gallery section I can see only the text. Help me please :-(

I disagree. I tested on three Joomla! so far and its work fine. Look for something else like other plugins or components.. Try disable one by one a try SIG on front-end.

I attach the images with the configurations. In local, with just installed joomla 1.5.12 I configure SIG Pro like in confplugin.jpg. Then I create an item and load the package with the images. K2 unpack it to \ media \ k2 \ galleries \ 1 \ and write {gallery} 1 {/ gallery} in the body of item. In the body I can see the gallery but not the Image Gallery area in bottom of the page. I don't know why!?!? :-(

Configuration: Joomla_1.5.12_ita-Stable, com_k2-v2.0.0_j15-build20090701 and plugin_jw_sigpro-j15-1.2

Hi

you don't need the pro version.

just, look inside:

admnistrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/info/tmpl/default.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/item/view,html.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/info/tmpl/default.php
components/com_k2/models/item.php
components/com_k2/models/item/view.html.php

and change all jw_sig or jw_sigpro > jwsig

it also solve the problem of the hiden gallery tab. you don't need to rename the files jwsig.php and xml to jw_sig anymore :)

then, the previews of the gallery in the admin gallery tab are not showing. to solve it I did this.
in /plugins/content/jwsig.php

created this in any line:
$mosConfig_live_site2 = ("paradigmaweb.com");

found in lines 225 and 239 (the ones which start with "$html") and change
$mosConfig_live_site > $mosConfig_live_site2


Thats all.

Just upgraded to v2.1 and reinstalled SIG plugin free version and now K2 doesn't even recognize it. I still get the "must be installed" error message under the gallery tab... this is crazy.

Upgraded to v2.1 and have got SIG Pro. Now the gallery tab works fine. I think that the Trick was in the Joomla editor configuration. Try to with "no editor" option in main Jommla configuraction. The JCE and other WyWSIG editors add the code which is not recognized by K2 gallery modul - I think. I don't know if upraded version of K2 helped here.

just tried with no editor and still get the same error. I don't understand since K2 and SIG are both made by Joomlaworks why they don't work seamlessly. I would buy the pro version if I thought it would work but I won't take the risk.

SIG Pro is a must. That is said by folks smarter than me. Additionaly I checked again and found that there is not a matter of editor (mea culpa that I advised so) but the K2 bug (probably?)
To show the gallery on the front end the options in category/subcategory view should be "show gallery", and additionally in item view option "show" to view the gallery. If I have in item view gallery option set "like in category" - gallery is visibile only for admin not from the front! I think it is probably a bug
There is no need to change the names of the files to small letters or to exclude "_" and numbers (as was advised in other posts).

You should use Pro version of SIG (this way you can thank Joomlaworks for this great K2 component ;-)).
In my case Gallery works fine but remember to set in your article view options "show gallery". To set this option in category view is not enough (bug ???)

@Lance : Check this thread with couple of solutions for current SIG free - k2community.joomlaworks.gr/forum/topics/simple-image-gallery-bug

Here's what I did to get my site to work: I followed Javier's advice below. Additionally, I changed the following:

In /plugins/content/jwsig.php
Change Line 50 from:
$rootfolder = '/images/stories/';
to:
$rootfolder = '/media/k2/galleries/';

THEN, in /plugins/content/plugin_jw_sig/showthumb.php
Change Line 15 from:
$_image_ = '../../../images/stories/'.$_GET;
to:
$_image_ = '../../../media/k2/galleries/'.$_GET;

This made it work. However my lightbox is not working. Image opens up in a separate tab instead of lightbox. Also wondering if there is a way to crop and make all thumbs the same size so that the gallery can look good?

Same here. Image opens in a separate tab. But a registered user gets the lightbox!
